Resumen:
We report a measurement of the proton-air cross section for particle production at the center-of-massenergy per nucleon of 57 TeV. This is derived from the distribution of the depths of shower maxima observedwith the Pierre Auger Observatory: systematic uncertainties are studied in detail. Analyzing the tail of thedistribution of the shower maxima, a proton-air cross section of ½505 22ðstatÞþ2836ðsystÞ mb is found.
